Weekend Wrap-up

After burgers at Red Robin on Friday night (where the new Jim Bean Burger was good, but a little too sweet and incorporated cold accoutrement), we took a walk through the Christmas lights at East Juniper Avenue. Visible on the Internet as a prime light spot, it was decent, if not really a destination street for out-of-towners. One house had an animatronic Santa singing rapid-fire Christmas songs while dancing, like a six-year-old with extra sugar.

On Saturday we had brunch at the Original Pancake House with Rebecca's East Moline relatives and then had liberal amounts of cheese soup for dinner. Post-dinner, we went to a housewarming at the new home of Rebecca's yoga instructor, where everyone either did yoga or was married to someone who did.

On Sunday, Rebecca migrated to Maryland for more family time while I stayed home and studied for my Hadoop Certification exam, which I am taking today at 10 AM. We then looked for heartwarming Christmas movies that were free on Amazon Prime, and ended up with Grumpy Old Men after coming up short on the "free" component.

How was your third-to-last weekend of 2012?
